Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for communicating sensor information between devices with middleware. In an embodiment, middleware logic executing at a computer platform receives sensor data generated based on operation of a sensor device of the platform. Any process participating in an exchange of the sensor data between a sensor driver process and the middleware logic is a process other than a process of any user application of the platform. Processing of the sensor data includes the middleware logic generating a data packet including information based on the sensor data. In another embodiment, the data packet is transmitted from the platform to another platform, where middleware of the other platform receives and processes the data packet independent of some or all user applications executing at the other platform.
